The painting "Untitled: Memorabilia" (2014) is part of the Museum's Art Collection and is currently on display as part of the exhibition Impressões Digitais: MNAC Collection.
About the exhibition: Consisting of founding works of contemporary Portuguese art historiography, from 1850 to the present day, the MNAC's collection holds several national treasures. Having grown exponentially over the last three decades, the collection, mostly by Portuguese creators, with a growing number of women artists, constitutes a unique, historical and emotional legacy, in some ways as identifiable as our fingerprints [impressões digitais]. After seven temporary exhibitions between 2018 and 2023, in which we focused on specific aspects of the collection and chose to share especially works that had never been displayed, the new long-term exhibition brings together the highlights of the collection along with newcomers to the collection i.e, artists of our own time.
Curated by Ana Guimarães, Emília Ferreira, Maria de Aires Silveira and Tiago Beirão Veiga, the journey through these 170 years of history, held at the museum’s main building, values the coexistence of different artistic languages, putting painting, drawing, engraving, photography, sculpture, installation and video into dialogue.
